Shah Rukh Khan’s highly anticipated movie “Jawaan” has been making waves in the film industry, and its first song was released on July 31, immediately trending on social media and amassing millions of views. What caught the attention of fans and poetry enthusiasts alike was the couplet used at the beginning of the song, which goes, “Usoolon pe jahaan aanch aaye takrana zaroori hai, Banda zinda ho zinda nazar aana zaroori hai.”
Upon closer examination, it was discovered that the original poetry was written by the renowned Urdu poet, Waseem Barelvi. However, some modifications were made when using the couplet in the song. Let’s delve into the original verses of the poetry penned by Waseem Barelvi:
Usoolon pe jahaan aanch aaye takrana zaroori hai
Jo zinda ho to phir zinda nazar aana zaroori hai
Nayi umron ki khud_mukhtaariyon ko kaun samjhaye
Kahan se bach ke chalna hai kahan jaana zaroori hai
Thake haare parinde jab basere ke liye laute
Saliqaamand shaakhon ka lachak jaana zaroori hai
Bahut bebaak aankhon mein ta’alluq tikk nahi paata
Muhabbat mein kashish rakhne ko sharmaana zaroori hai
Saliqa hi nahi shaayad use mahsuus karne ka
Jo kahta hai khuda hai to nazar aana zaroori hai
Mere honthon pe apni pyaas rakh do aur phir socho
ki is ke baad bhi duniya mein kuch paana zaroori hai.
The soul-stirring couplet reflects profound emotions and deep philosophies on life and love, adding a poetic touch to the movie. As “Jawaan” showcases its lead star, Shah Rukh Khan, in his signature charismatic style, the song also features the exceptional talents of actresses Sanya Malhotra and Priyamani, who have mesmerized audiences with their captivating dance performances.
The song’s melodious composition and soulful rendition have been masterfully crafted by the mass music director, Anirudh Ravichander. With such a stellar cast and a musical treat, “Jawaan” promises to be an enthralling cinematic experience.
Directed by Atlee, the movie “Jawaan” boasts an ensemble cast that includes Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Deepika Padukone, and Ridhi Dogra, making it one of the most anticipated films of the year.
